1999 Cobra Mustang Convertible - It's all about the drive...
This car was originally planned as a Father & Son project car. Our original goal was to find a fine used, yet affordable 95-to-current Mustang Convertible with great performance, and very, very low miles. We planned to keep the exterior looking great, yet understated. It shouldn't get so over the top that we fear taking it out in public (more on that later, hope we haven't gone too far). We like to take it to shows, and we plan to DRIVE this little beastie. To work. The mall. To the movies with the wife. To the local ice cream parlor. On a date. No matter what we do, it's all about the drive.
We found this great Cobra with only 5K miles on it from... we'll call the first owner Joe. Joe kept the car immaculate, and did a boatload of performance mods. He worked for the company in the background of these pics. My thanks to Joe for keeping up such a great car, and affording us this opportunity! See below for a listing of the stuff Joe did to (literally) BOOST the car's performance. Keep reading to see what we're doing now that it's our turn:
